Burns Concrete Inc.

Burns Concrete Inc., an Idaho Falls–based manufacturer of concrete goods, operates exclusively as a subcontractor to the Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management, delivering concrete materials and construction services for remediation and infrastructure hardening projects. The firm is a self-certified small disadvantaged business competing in the full-and-open market with no prime contract footprint in recent federal activity.

Burns Concrete's entire federal footprint consists of three task-order subcontracts under a single DOE-EM indefinite delivery contract (89303321DEM000061), awarded across 2023–2025 with combined potential value of $476 thousand. The three named task orders span concrete construction work: an October 2023 subcontract for an IWTU vault construction pad under a Clark Jones prime; an August 2024 modification ordering concrete for gates at the Albertson NRF facility under task orders 2, 3, and 4; and a May 2025 subcontract for concrete gates at the NRF under the same IDC. All three awards are categorized as Remediation Services work. The vendor's customer concentration is complete: 100% of recent awards derive from DOE-EM's environmental management programs, and the vendor has not pursued or been awarded work outside that agency. Activity is minimal and flat — one award per calendar year — with no indication of growth trajectory or pipeline beyond annual task-order activity on the single parent vehicle.

Burns Concrete's positioning is highly specialized and narrow: the firm is a material supplier and construction subcontractor for DOE-EM's Idaho cleanup and infrastructure hardening initiatives, routed through a single prime relationship on a stable but small-value parent contract. The vendor has not diversified into other federal agencies, other parent vehicles, or prime contracting. Recompete risk and growth opportunity are both constrained by the IDC's scope and the prime's sole-source reliance on Burns for concrete services.
